Well, the autumn colors have reached their peak around here, and now what is left but to fall? No, the fun is not done yet! The Raven has been read and so the ceremony begins. The guitar is ripe to raise red fire. Is it sadness? No. It’s raging desire and love. The nomadic wind blows again and says it is time to travel. It is time for everyone to bring what ever fuel they have to keep the communal blaze burning. Of resistance, of restoration, of friendship, of… (there is no last word. There is only life.) I look forward to seeing y’all out at the shows! I am so excited to gather with folks for music and food and conversation and whatever else… When we meet face to face in this manner it is more than just another crowd, it is good medicine to all souls – saints and sinners alike.
Keep checking the tour schedule as I will be updating often as more shows get confirmed (and some get canceled). Shows
Exciting news! – I’ll be traveling with the brand new official hardcopy version of the band’s latest #4, Part B: Another Log for the Fire, as well as much of our older material. I will also have a new zine, just being printed today, from members of the Iron Creek Land Community (where I live and work) called Leaf Litter: Notes on Restoring and Reinhabiting the Great Lakes Bio-Region (and beyond)
“What will happen to your tribe if you don’t know your gift to bring?
Even a log for the fire, it would help your people sing,
Through this dark and arctic time.
What will happen to your life if you have no tribe to dance with?
Only cold and lonely nights, but that’s a question we must ask.
What will happen to your life if you don’t know your skill to serve?
What will happen to our lives if we don’t grow and we don’t learn?
Lord have mercy, may we learn.” -From Feel, Feel, Feel by theillalogicalspoon
